Pulcetta are right, subscribers have their extra puzzles. Indeed, until they reach the level of more experienced, I would give them another average puzzle, maybe 4 or 5 points. An additional incentive to play and sign up! Try? Bye, bye.

So now it is now impossible for non-subscribers to obtain a daily star since there is no possible way to solve all requisite puzzles?

No, that was an oversight, this has been fixed now (you have your star now )

Seems like this new "feature" is more prone to drive people away than to draw them into becoming subscribers.

I thought that the difference between non-subscriber/subscriber was too small: simplycompare the number of free puzzles to the number of extra puzzles you get when yousubscribe (today, for example: 13 free puzzles and now 2 subscriber puzzles (!)).

By the way, I still need to write a script that updates the "subscriber" tags in the forum(now still showing for people whose subscription has expired..)

I am currently a non-subscriber like rickt. When I tried to access tonight's 8x8 with the green line, it still said it was for subscribers only. For me, it's STILL impossible to get a gold star. That's why I've been "boycotting" for the past few days out of anger.
